The availability of playthings that celebrate a child's ethnicity and culture is fundamental in the establishment of a healthy sense of self. <br /><br />My sister asked me if she should allow my niece to play with her Tatiana. I said, yes! Let her enjoy her doll (but keep her in the box when she's not playing with it). She's 10 and old enough to take care of her things anyway. I think it would be torture to have dolls that you can only look at through boxes. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-76471671638393148022015-12-29T04:24:38.461-06:002015-12-29T04:24:38.461-06:00Thank you, Ms. Leo!

When my daughters were younger, I had to order dolls from places like China Sprout to get them Asian dolls that they could identify with. It is important for little girls to have a doll that looks like her.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084954419650988542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-10738504104557851562015-12-28T16:26:18.724-06:002015-12-28T16:26:18.724-06:00Great looking doll with really nice clothes.Great looking doll with really nice clothes.Ms. Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742194324517520395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-73761272715953649222015-12-28T13:01:33.129-06:002015-12-28T13:01:33.129-06:00Congratulations on your late birthday present, Gin...Congratulations on your late birthday present, Gini. Tatiana was well worth the wait, right?<br /><br />I wrote the draft of this post last night and had planned to wait to publish it Wednesday since I was unable to proof it thoroughly. In my haste to have a new post replace my Christmas Greeting post, I proofed it early this morning and went ahead and published. I knew her eyes were not stationary but sometimes what I am thinking and what I write is completely opposite, as in the case of describing Tatiana's eye movement.<br /><br />I am glad you enjoyed the review and concur with it. I really do like everything about Tatiana. To my knowledge, there isn't another doll on the market quite like her for adult collectors and/or children. <br /><br />Enjoy your doll!<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-90185067182612834502015-12-28T11:49:24.326-06:002015-12-28T11:49:24.326-06:00Hi Debbie --

That gave me the rationale NOT to wait until Christmas to open the box when it did arrive -- "AHA! Late birthday present, must open IMMEDIATELY!" Tatiana is so beautiful (that face!) and so well-made that I knew you'd review her positively, and I've been anticipating your blog post about her. I thought Tatiana's eyes were stationary at first too, because they resemble the eyes on my Julie Good-Kruger and Karito Kid dolls.Ginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122256609185115305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-9454357898646977182015-12-28T09:22:51.879-06:002015-12-28T09:22:51.879-06:00Tatiana has "sleep" eyes not "stati...Tatiana has "sleep" eyes not "stationary" as I wrote previously (which has now been corrected).<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-75094139249546474352015-12-28T09:20:01.047-06:002015-12-28T09:20:01.047-06:00Hi Arlette,

I was delighted that a doll with her complexion would be included in the Dollfriend line for girls (and collectors) with similar complexions to own and for others who might want to diversify their doll families.<br /><br />I have seen the doll with the hair braided, which is quite lovely. However, I have no immediate plans to do that myself. Who knows what will happen with time on my hands in the future.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-49641188569584411622015-12-28T09:11:17.964-06:002015-12-28T09:11:17.964-06:00Yes, she has a bright and cheery smile.

As you have said, finger-detangling is the best. This doll isn't only beautiful and articulated but she also has an educational value. Her hair is a nice way of teaching black girls and mixed girls how to gently care for their ultra-curly hair. I have got a question for you: Are you going to braid her hair one day and had the beads? <br />Thanks for the review and the photos.<br />Take good care of yourself!<br />Arlette<br /><br />And also Congratulations on your name being twice on the box.Petite Plangonophile au chocolathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548251311004785318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-6687705450037662282015-12-28T07:44:58.762-06:002015-12-28T07:44:58.762-06:00These dolls have such interesting faces - you just...These dolls have such interesting faces - you just do t see broad smiles like this very often, do you?<br /><br />Congratulations on having your name on the box!jSariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091297532711995227noreply@blogger.com
